BREAKING: Police launch tear gas at protesters in Hong Kong for the second night in a row.
Police in Hong Kong have fired tear gas at protesters for the second night in a row.
Hong Kong has had a series of pro-democracy and anti-government rallies and marches this summer, many of which have ended in showdowns between police and protesters who occupy streets or throw eggs at and spray-paint slogans on government buildings.A group of protesters has used orange and white construction barricades to build a wall spanning a major Hong Kong road near the Chinese government’s Liaison Office for the city.
Similar occupations in recent protests have ended in clashes with police when officers tried to clear the area. On Saturday, police used tear gas and rubber bullets in a protest that left at least two dozen people injured. The Chinese statement noted that both President Donald Trump and the mayor of New York had condemned recent incidents in which people had doused New York City police officers with buckets of water.
Police had rejected the organizer’s request to march to the city’s Sheung Wan district, where tear gas was fired at protesters a week ago.A large crowd has gathered in a park in downtown Hong Kong for the latest anti-government protest in what has become a summer of discontent.
